 I was tasked with conducting a hybrid meeting. The venue was a medium-sized hall and we were expecting around 30 people. I knew my trusty anchor speakerphone was not up to the task. This is the type of event where you need a mixer and a powerful speaker system. But what about the Bose S1 Pro? The Bose S1 Pro is an interesting device. If you are in London and you walk down Piccadilly Circus, you will find almost every street performer using this device. From a hybrid meeting perspective, it has three unique features. One, it is battery powered with a rating of around 11 hours. That should be enough for any event. If you want more, you can always connect it to AC power. Two, it is loud enough to develop a medium-sized room with great sound. If you have an audience of around 30 to 50 people, the Bose S1 will do the trick. And three is the cool part. It has a built-in mixer. It can take two microphone inputs, one line input, a Bluetooth input and one line out. Here is how I connected all the pieces together to create a high quality hybrid meeting. For the microphone, I used the RODE Wireless Go 2. The RODE Wireless Go 2 gives me two microphones that are connected to a single receiver. It's a great system with excellent audio quality. I will do a separate video on how to use the RODE system for hybrid meetings. For now, I want to focus on the Bose S1. The RODE receiver was connected to the S1 using a 3.5 to an XLR converter. You can also use a 3.5 to quarter inch converter and that should be fine too. I used the second input to connect the output from the laptop so that the on-site audience can hear the online audience from the Bose S1 Pro. I connected the line out from the S1 into the laptop as the microphone input. My laptop does not have dedicated audio connections for input and output. I used the USB to audio interface. You can find them for around $10 on Amazon. I'll put a link in the description. The headphone out from the laptop goes as a microphone input into the S1. Similarly, the line out from the S1 goes as microphone input into your laptop. Finally, I connected the laptop to the projector using an HDMI cable and a hybrid meeting is ready. Here is a sample of an audio taken directly from this meeting. I will now call our new members forward and ask them to join me at the lectern. Please withhold your applause until the ceremony is completed. So there you have it. If you ask me, this was my best hybrid event setup. The Bose S1 Pro is an excellent tool for medium-sized hybrid events.
